Greenville Splash swimmers are continuing to enjoy a healthy lifestyle by swimming through the summer months. Workouts are well attended with swimmers enjoying a great workout by avoiding the summer heat and swimming in cool water.

Greenville Splash has enjoyed many group practice swims at Lake Jocassee this summer. Our turnouts have been gaining in numbers. We are up to 30 swimmers joining us for this beautiful outdoor experience. It has been fun to see new swimmers experiencing the adventure of the open water. We thank you to all of our volunteer kayakers this summer. Our swimmers have been rocking the triathlon world and having fun at the Growler swim meet. This meet was so much fun. The team swam fast and then headed straight to the beach at Sullivan's Island. Make sure to put this meet on your schedule next year.

Swimming in the summer is a natural part of our lifestyle. Help us make that come true for children in our community by participating in the Upstate Splash. We have 30 spots left so register today. The proceeds from our events will provide swim lessons to those in need.

The Olympics have inspired us all, come join us for a workout with Greenville Splash! Check out the calendar section of the website or facebook for more information. We always welcome all swimmers to any of our workouts, events and socials. Join the fun!

Kacky is our swimmer of the month for her dedication to the sport of swimming. She has been a volunteer for the Red Cross for over 30 years. She continues to volunteer every summer to provide swim lessons for children through the Red Cross and Kiwanis Club at the Kroc Center. Kacky truly exemplifies the spirit of volunteering and her wish is for every child to learn to swim. She also loves to swim herself. She is retired so she practices on her own at Westside during the mornings. She swims three times per week and loves to complete workouts from our coaches. She loves asking questions and learning new drills and technique. She recently started competing in Masters swim meets with us and is a true team player. She will sign up to swim many events and never says no to a relay. Kacky has remarkable stamina and technique and has even set a state record this year!

Thank you so much to our members that have paid their annual membership dues. Your dues help support our team expenses and provide for our continued growth.

Greenville Splash members: Video and stroke analysis is available with Coach Susan DeMere on Saturdays at the Kroc Center 8:00 am. Must sign up in advance.
